CalZakat is a comprehensive Zakat al-Mal calculator built for Muslim users across the MENA region. It guides non-technical users through the full Zakat calculation process across five financial profiles: employee, business owner, freelancer, investor, and mixed. The platform applies the correct scholarly rulings per madhab, fetches live and historical gold and silver prices tied to the exact hawl completion date, and produces a detailed PDF breakdown in Arabic or English. Built as a bilingual RTL-first web application with full Arabic support.
Most Muslims either skip calculating Zakat entirely or rely on oversimplified calculators that ignore madhab differences, apply today's gold price regardless of when the hawl completed, and treat all asset types the same way. Non-technical users have no guidance through concepts like nisab, hawl, or the difference between zakatable and exempt assets. The result is either overcalculation, undercalculation, or avoidance altogether.
CalZakat replaces the guesswork with a structured 10-step wizard that adapts to the user's madhab, financial profile, and currency. Gold and silver prices are fetched for the exact hawl completion date using a dual-API strategy combining metals.dev for historical metal prices and Frankfurter for accurate historical currency conversion across MAD, AED, SAR, EGP, USD, and EUR. Every scholarly ruling is applied silently in the background. Users see only clear questions and accurate results.
